But while bringing these stories to life, David was living with a debilitating condition. Now, for the first time, he's opening up about his struggles with Crohn's disease in a semi-autobiographical novel for kids called “Invisible: The (Sort Of) True Story of Me and My Hidden Disease.” David sits down with Tom Power to tell us about it.

Today on the show I share my thoughts on diagnosing modern parasitic draw concerns and how so many seem to shift/overlap into network diagnostics.

Christmas is often portrayed as a season filled with joy, family, and celebration—but for many, it can also be one of the loneliest times of the year. Loss, distance from loved ones, illness, or isolation can magnify feelings of loneliness during the holidays. Scripture reminds us that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and tenderly cares for those who feel crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). In this season, God not only comforts the lonely through His presence, but He also invites His people to reflect His love by seeking out those who feel forgotten and offering them genuine community. Main Takeaways You’ll learn why the holiday season can intensify feelings of loneliness for many people. Discover how God’s presence brings comfort to the brokenhearted and those who feel unseen. Understand why loneliness is something believers are called to address with compassion and action. Reflect on practical ways to include and care for those who may spend Christmas alone. Be encouraged to live out Christ’s love by becoming His hands and feet during the holidays.

Steve and Laura reflect on the final trading session of 2025, which saw the Aussie market push higher to cap off a third consecutive year of gains. While the final week of trade was relatively subdued, a boost from the Technology and Financial sectors helped the benchmark index finish the year up nearly 6%. Reflecting on 2025, it was a massive year for the Materials sector, which surged 28% behind record-breaking runs in gold and silver, contrasting with a difficult period for Healthcare. Individual standouts included DroneShield, which finished as the year’s top performer, while HMC Capital and Bapcor were among those facing significant headwinds. Looking ahead, quarterly inflation data, central bank pivots from the RBA and the Fed, and the February reporting season all shape the outlook for the start of 2026.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble (Proverbs 21:23). This short verse is a good summary of why I want you to consider true fasting from both gossip and complaining! Neither of these habits are very lifegiving, and complaining can become very prevalent in our lives when we don't feel like we have abundance in one area or another. Considering your tongue, more specifically what you are saying, can be a good start not to only “fasting” from gossip and complaining but eliminating this from your life completely as a follower of Jesus Christ. Neither bear fruit, and gossip and complaining grieve the Holy Spirit! Both gossip and complaining are common when it comes to the workplace, and it is easy to get “sucked in” to both patterns depending on your office culture. Draw a line and truly fast from these behaviors until they disappear! First gossip. Exodus 23:1 begins by reminding us to not spread false reports. While not all gossip is false information, it is easy to perpetuate a rumor, especially about someone else. You know how this happens at work. It can be something related to another person's work quality or something very personal. I can hear it now. Did you know so and so failed to meet their quota? Did you hear she is filing for divorce? Any form of information coming to you about someone else in the form of a question should be examined. Is the discussion necessary to do your job? With their mouths the godless destroy their neighbors, but through knowledge the righteous escape (Proverbs 11:9). What about complaining? Philippians 2:14 tells us to do all things without grumbling or disputing that we may be blameless and innocent. What are you prone to grumble about at work? Is it a specific task? Another person? Do you often complain about your job? I had a sweet sister in Christ tell me she was trying not to curse what blesses her. Boy did that sit heavy on my heart. How can you “fast” from gossip and complaining? Take a minute to pause before you speak or respond to anything coming your way. If someone tries to engage you in gossip, redirect the conversation. I always like to ask another question in return. Are you sure? Have you talked to so and so directly about that? Or a statement like, we really shouldn't be talking about so and so's job performance. If you find yourself wanting to complain, pray! Pray for God to change your heart or view of the situation. I tried to keep a little log for a week. I would place a mark each time I complained or engaged in gossip. Seeing this really challenged me to quit these two bad habits and repent to God when I find myself slipping back into them.

Send us a textPat Conroy's writing tips focus on using personal experience to craft honest, passionate prose. His advice emphasizes deep exploration of one's inner world, dedicated hard work, and the importance of reading widely. On finding your subjectWrite to understand your own life. Conroy wrote to make sense of his own story and invited readers to join him in the journey. He believed a writer's "central agony cowers in the limestone cave, licking its wounds, awaiting my discovery of it".Draw from your memories. Conroy frequently mined his difficult childhood, particularly his father's violence, as the central truth of his work. He wrote for the "people who can't speak" and explored where his life and relationships had gone off course.Use your life as fuel, not as a script. As a "creative non-fiction" writer, Conroy used his experiences to inform his fictional stories and craft complex characters, rather than simply presenting estranged family members with their names changed.Gather stories. Conroy was an avid collector of stories, treating them like "rare stamps" or a library of music. He was known to claim a good story for his own writing if he heard it. On the writing processWrite the first draft by hand. Conroy famously wrote the first drafts of his books on long yellow legal pads with a pen, preferring to lose himself in the narrative flowing from his hand.Dedicate yourself to hard, fanatical work. Conroy described writing as "hard labor and one of the most pleasant forms that fanaticism can take." He believed nothing lazy should ever enter his books.Practice with an "ironclad" schedule. Writing requires discipline and a consistent schedule. Conroy committed to a routine no matter where he was, knowing that the process "does not permit much familiarity with chaos".Go deeper, then go deeper again. He instructed writers to dive past the surface of their narratives. Your job, he said, is to discover the angels or demons—the enigmas—buried within you.Write for yourself. While Conroy loved his readers and answered every letter he could, he believed that ultimately, you write for yourself. Your art is "desperately trying to make its own voice heard to you"—you just need to listen. On language and craftListen to the sound of your sentences.  He insisted words had to "come out right".Pursue amplitude and exactness. Early in his career, Conroy was drawn to extravagance, but over time, he learned that "exactness is a virtue in even the most word-possessed writer". His writing balances lyrical, lush prose with simple and well-stated truths.Capture the spirit of a place. Conroy was a master of place, especially the South Carolina Lowcountry. He advised writers to make locations concrete, exact, and so vivid that they are indispensable to the story.Trust the power of story. The most powerful words, according to Conroy, are, "Tell me a story." On reading and learningRead everything, especially your contemporaries. Read 200 pages a day. Embrace the long apprenticeship. Conroy believed that his first, "naive" book, The Boo, taught him that he had a long way to go and would have to work as hard as any writer alive to master his craft.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Ever feel like God seems distant no matter how much you pray or worship? The reason may surprise you. In this message, Kyle uncovers the truth about God's presence with you, and reveals what James really meant by “Draw near to God” (James 4:8).

A public library in Caleb and Stephen's area has been providing pornographic content to children. What is happening, why, and what should be done about it?Caleb and Stephen's Letter to the Sioux Center Public Library:To the Sioux Center Public Library, together with its director, board, staff, and all else who pertains:May the Lord convict you to read this letter in its entirety. Do not shrink from its words. Be discomforted, but receive the admonishment in humility. Remove Icebreaker, Identical, and every other wicked, ungodly, and perverse “literature” which you make available for public distribution. To be clear: not only should children be protected from depraved content, but also adults.Repent and do what is right — not from fear of man, not out of a duty to the community, but in the sight of God — that you may be forgiven. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” (1 Jn. 18-10). As will be explained further below, this is no matter of simply saying something to the effect of, “We don't personally like the book, but it's hard to decide what should or shouldn't be stocked,” or to “let the parents decide.”First, a brief note on the First Amendment and libraries. We would like to draw your attention to this week's conclusion of Little v. Llano County, in which the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal against the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold the county's removal of 17 books from their public libraries. Specifically, they had ruled that there is no inherent right protected under the First Amendment for someone to receive information via taxpayer-funded books from a public library. This decision now applies to the states of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. If this is the case elsewhere, can—even, ought it not be applied here? Your board has been quoted as stating its “commitment” to “protect access to information.” Should the reception of any and all information or content be protected? There is no true necessity in providing erotica to anyone. Indeed, as your director has said, “Our mission is to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge and strengthen our community.” How does pornographic, erotic literature inspire learning and advance knowledge? And — given the backlash you have thus far received — how does this strengthen the community?Second, your opinions on the first amendment, the Iowa constitution, and ALA policies aside: We call upon you to realize you are accountable to a Higher Authority (Acts 5:29; Westminster Larger Catechism QA 99, 128-130; Heidelberg Catechism, QA 104; Belgic Confession 36). You are under a law greater than your own policies. This law, God's law, applies to all peoples, unbelievers and believers alike. All mankind will be judged under the same law. If there are any on the board who do not profess Christ, you must hear the gospel and turn from your sins so that you may be saved. If you would hear this message of salvation while there is yet time, please contact us at pastor.rvurc@gmail.com.However, being aware of the demographics of our county, it is far more likely that this board and the library staff are full of churchgoers. If so, what grief you bring upon Christ's name! “Who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” (Gal. 3:1)What does the Word of God say of your actions?By providing in your catalog any material with perverse content, you promote peoples' minds to dwell upon that which is prohibited by the holy law. You train peoples' hearts to store up that which defiles the temple of our body (1 Cor. 6:18-20).“Fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints, neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not fitting…For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God (Eph. 5:3-5).” Sexual immorality is not limited to only an outward action, but also when the mind itself is lured to entertain temptation. As Jesus says in Matthew 5:27-28, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”We are instead positively commanded to give our minds to holy, good things: “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Phil. 4:8).Perhaps you object. Perhaps you think, “I'm not responsible for what others do. If they want to read these things, that's for them to decide.” You may as well like Cain (Gen. 4:9) ask the Lord, “Am I my brother's keeper?” Yes, you are. “Do not be deceived,” says Paul, for “Evil company corrupts good morals” (1 Cor. 15:33), and “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (Gal. 5:9).Concerning sexual immorality and the 7th commandment, Q. 109 of the Heidelberg Catechism asks, Does God, in this commandment, forbid only such scandalous sins as adultery? Note its answer well: “We are temples of the Holy Spirit, body and soul, and Godwants both to be kept clean and holy. That is why God forbids all unchaste actions, looks, talk, thoughts, or desires, and whatever may incite someone to them” (see also WLC QA 139). It is clear: you shall certainly be held responsible for your part in distributing that which may lead someone to sin, whether they be adult or child; regardless of the government's position on its permissibility. However, know that your guilt is magnified for involving a child. Indeed, by permitting a child to check out such filth, you pose a stumbling block before them that they trip into sin. To you Jesus says, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin” (Luke 17:1-2; WLC QA 151).We pray you will heed these warnings with all sobriety, especially if you profess Christ, for “You should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind” (Eph. 4:17). “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God” (James 4:4).Consider this rebuke as a mercy from the Lord, shining light to expose devilish works. And now being exposed, understand that “to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:17), “for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment” (Heb. 10:26-27). Can the stakes be any more clear than that? What ought you do?Well, if you would truly be called public servants:* Serve the parents by informing them if a child is seeking adult content (Prov. 17:25; 29:15)* Serve the child by declining to check out any material that would be destructive to their soul, even if it would cost you your job. (Lev. 19:7; Prov. 27:5; James 5:19-20)* Serve the community by refusing to stock wicked books in the first place (Ps. 101:3); by not squandering tax dollars on smut (Prov. 21:20; Lk. 16:10-13). * Discard from your shelves all depraved materials, pornographic writings, even any work which might “shake the hand against God, in defiance against the Almighty” (Job 15:25; Ezek. 20:7; Acts 19:19). * Refuse to contribute to the deformation and denigration of godliness in this area and in this land (Deut. 28:47-48; Dan. 12:10; Matt. 24:12; 1 Tim. 4:1-2; Jude 18-19).And finally, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up” (James 4:7-10).May God have mercy.Rev.

“Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” — Matthew 2:2 Sometimes the big news story of the day is not the one we think it is—or there is more to it than we realize.As Jesus was born, something else was also happening far away. Matthew tells us about “Magi from the east”—often called “wise men”—who studied the stars. The Magi were astrologers, religious leaders who believed that the movement of the stars and special signs in the heavens could give direction for people's lives.To the Jews, that kind of study was superstitious idolatry. And yet we see in this story how God was writing an even bigger story than people were aware of at the time. Jesus was, of course, Israel's promised Savior. But today we can also see that Christ's birth was a crucial part of God's plan to draw all nations to himself. Even people who were lost in the confusion of sin and idolatry could see glimpses of God's invitation to draw near and ask, seek, and find him. In the story of the Magi we see how God can meet us where we are—no matter who we are—and make the good news of Jesus' birth come alive for us.This Christmas, we might think (or act as if) our celebrations and gifts are the main thing of the season. But God wants so much more. He wants to draw people to Jesus, especially those who don't know him.How is God surprising you with that invitation this Christmas? Lord God, help us to understand what is most important in our lives. Draw us near to you, we pray, for Jesus' sake. Amen.

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Revelation 8 The Lamb breaks the seventh seal, and there is a profound silence in heaven for about half an hour, creating a sense of awe and anticipation. Seven angels stand before God, each given a trumpet to sound. Another angel offers incense on the golden altar, and smoke rises with the prayers of the saints. The first trumpet brings hail and fire mixed with blood, burning a third of the earth and its vegetation. The second casts a fiery mountain into the sea, turning a third of the sea into blood. The third causes a blazing star called Wormwood to fall, poisoning rivers and springs. The fourth darkens a third of the sun, moon, and stars. Then an eagle cries out loudly, warning that even greater woes are still to come.  This chapter indicates that God's judgment is real, purposeful, and holy. When the Lamb opens the seventh seal, heaven falls silent, emphasizing the seriousness of what is to come. Our prayers ascend before God with incense, reminding us that He hears us and values our faithfulness. As each trumpet sounds, parts of creation are affected. Trees burn, seas turn to blood, rivers become bitter, and the sky darkens. These signs show how sin causes brokenness not just in people but in the world itself. We are called to live with urgency, to take God's warnings seriously, and to trust His timing. Even in judgment, God shows mercy by giving time for repentance. We must keep praying, watching, and remaining faithful.  Heavenly Father, we come before You with reverence and awe. As silence filled heaven when the seventh seal was opened, help us to pause and reflect on Your holiness and justice. You hear the prayers of Your people, and we trust that our voices rise before You like incense. In the midst of judgment, remind us of Your mercy and patience. Strengthen our faith as we witness a world broken by sin. Keep us alert, humble, and faithful. Let us never take lightly Your warnings or Your love. Draw us closer to You as we trust in Your perfect will.    Thought Questions: How does silence in heaven challenge you to pause and reflect on the seriousness of God's judgment and your humility before Him? Do you believe the prayers of saints continue to ascend to God? How does that imagery affect your emotions when engaged in prayer? How should the trumpet judgments affect the way you view sin, creation, and the urgency of living a life that honors and obeys God?

God invites us into this intimacy. He calls for us to be close to Him. This is what differentiates Christianity from any other religion in the world. God is not cold and distant. He welcomes closeness with himself. He calls and invites us to seek Him and pursue Him.Main Points:1. Can you hear His voice? In your loneliness, in your anxiety, in your frustration, and in your desperation, God is calling you to come to Him. I pray that you will respond like David and say, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”2. There are so many today who have lots of Bible knowledge. Maybe they were raised attending church. They know the Word of God and can quote many scriptures, but they are empty spiritually because they have no relationship with God.3. God wants to be known. He makes himself available to us. He rewards our seeking with His presence. Your relationship with God can be rich and full. It can be powerful and inspiring; it just requires us to seek Him.Today's Scripture Verses:Psalm 27:8 - “When you said, ‘Seek My face,' My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”James 4:8 - “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”Psalm 119:37 - “Turn my eyes away from worthless things.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Jason and the Rodius got together for a very special holiday/alien edition of The Best Soccer Show. The boys talked about MLS Cup, discussed the USMNT draw and World Cup warmup schedule, and pondered some roster choices for head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Buck Flying Solo The discussion opens with the economic outlook under President Donald Trump’s second term, emphasizing persistent affordability issues and inflationary pressures that remain despite strong stock market performance. Buck highlights the lingering impact of COVID-era shutdowns and stimulus spending, noting that prices for essentials like housing, healthcare, and education remain high. He cites recent trade deficit improvements as evidence of Trump’s “America First” trade policies and tariff strategy, while warning that Democrats will weaponize price discontent in upcoming elections. Insights from former SEC Chair Jay Clayton on the 22% price surge under Biden, framing affordability as the defining economic challenge. Buck stresses that Republicans must go beyond blaming Biden-era inflation and articulate clear solutions, including boosting supply and efficiency rather than resorting to destructive price controls—a policy he compares to Venezuela’s economic collapse. The Unaffordable Care Act Buck also addresses healthcare policy battles, revealing dueling Senate bills on Obamacare subsidies and criticizing Democrats’ push to extend Affordable Care Act provisions, which he argues have made healthcare far less affordable. He warns that rising premiums and taxpayer-funded coverage for illegal immigrants remain underreported but critical issues. Buck calls for unity on the right, rejecting intramural squabbles and urging focus on core priorities: fixing costs, securing the border, and countering media misinformation. He promotes his upcoming book Manufacturing Delusion, which explores propaganda and political manipulation, framing it as essential reading for understanding today’s ideological battles. The Truth About Immigration Buck Sexton leads a candid discussion on the breaking news that a federal judge has ordered the release of Ilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member previously detained by ICE. This controversial ruling sparks debate about the legal wrangling surrounding deportations, the Supreme Court’s involvement, and the Trump administration’s efforts to treat MS-13 as a foreign terrorist organization. Buck frames the immigration crisis as a systemic failure spanning decades, criticizing both Democrats and establishment Republicans for enabling what he calls a “third-world invasion.” He cites expert commentary from Steven Miller, who argues that unchecked immigration impacts every major policy issue—from education and healthcare to crime and the federal deficit. Miller’s analysis underscores how subtracting illegal immigration from these metrics would dramatically improve outcomes, revealing the hidden costs of current policies. We Have to Draw a Line The conversation expands to Trump’s stance on merit-based immigration, including his blunt remarks about prioritizing immigrants from high-functioning countries like Norway and Denmark over those from unstable regions plagued by crime and terrorism. Buck explores the cultural implications of mass migration, questioning whether America can maintain its identity amid tens of millions of illegal immigrants—estimated at 20 to 30 million today. He warns that Democrats’ push for amnesty and open borders could permanently alter the nation’s political and social fabric. Listeners hear Buck dismantle common pro-immigration narratives, challenging the notion that assimilation is automatic. He points to examples in Europe, where large migrant populations have resisted integration, fueling crime and cultural clashes. Buck emphasizes that shared language, law, and culture are essential for national unity, advocating for stronger enforcement and a slowdown in immigration to preserve American values. The hour also touches on DHS Secretary Noem’s testimony on Capitol Hill, where she defends Trump’s immigration policies against Democratic attacks. Buck critiques media coverage, particularly CNN’s framing of the issue, and calls for honesty about historical immigration patterns and their consequences. He argues that America’s foreign-born population has reached unsustainable levels, making assimilation and economic stability increasingly difficult.
